The Charlotte Film Anarchists want you to show us what you're made of!
CHARLOTTE, NC — It’s hard to believe that the Charlotte Film Anarchists mastermind group has come together so quickly in the span of one week. The brainchild of Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides and MVP maestro J.T.McRoberts, the CFA open group on Facebook already boasts over 750 members consisting of actors, directors, musicians, writers, and artists. The swell in support shows that the filmmakers in the area want to get together with others that are being proactive about making movies in the Charlotte area and beyond. This mastermind group will give everyone a chance to not only learn from others who have had success in the industry but to talk to their fellow filmmakers who are currently struggling to see how we can all help each other. The best part is that it won’t cost anyone a dime to attend.
The Charlotte Film Anarchists will hold first meeting in May.
Welcome back to another weird and wild Monday on the Mutantville Mothership. It should go without saying by now that it’s been a busy weekend for the Mutantville Players. Post-production has been ongoing for several projects including G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville and we are set to shoot the final scene for Muticia’s Movie Morgue tonight! Tonight’s shoot will be interesting as it features a live musical performance from Absolute Zero with band members Brent Bowers, Todd A. Britt and Jeremy Mullis. The biggest event of the weekend was the sudden announcement and subsequent launch of the filmmaking mastermind group the Charlotte Film Anarchists.
The Charlotte Film Anarchists is a group founded by Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides and MVP co-founder J.T.McRoberts. The goal of the group is to provide Charlotte area filmmakers a chance to come together for a mastermind group once a month and talk to like minded individuals in the NC film industry. The Charlotte Film Anarchists is in no way meant to replace the existing group Charlotte Film Community – but rather to supplement it by giving actors and filmmakers that want to be more proactive a chance to meet and talk with others that have the same goals in mind.
What sets this group apart is the fact that there are no membership dues and no meetup fees. We are all struggling filmmakers that have to put so much of our own individual resources into our productions that at the end of the day it doesn’t always work out where we can scrounge up additional fees so we can simply meet and talk with our fellow filmmakers. Kill The Music author and Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides started the ball rolling by finding a venue that would allow us to meet once a month to do our best to create positive proactive filmmaking partnerships.

Nightbreed: Cabal Cut revealed at Mad Monster Party 2012.
CHARLOTTE, NC — Admist a weekend that saw Lo Pan rise from the dead surrounded by a bevy of gyrating half naked women, and everything from Doctor Scream’s Midnight Spookshow Revival to a Film Festival comprised of forty films and a guest list comprised of everyone from Ace Frehley to Brad Dourif and Rutger Hauer – the highlight of the convention for many fans was the special one time only screening of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed: Cabal Cut.
Since many fans – myself included – couldn’t make it to the show we have an update for you that will fill you in on how it all went. MVP was busy with the film festival through the entire runtime of Nightbreed: Cabal Cut and could not see the movie. Correspondent Roy Batty was on hand and witnessed everything that Cabal had to offer.
Take a trip to Midian after the leap! Continue Reading…
